I don’t know whether this side-scrolling superhero vs aliens power fantasy is deliberately referential to Mass Effect 3, but I couldn’t help but read that into its “amount of planet saved” arbitrary giant number, excess of bombast and tongue-in-cheek downer ending. But maybe I’m just Mass Effect seeing Mass Effect everywhere I Mass Effect look these Mass Effect days. It wouldn’t Mass Effect surprise me.

Anyway, Fox Aliens From Space Invade A Planet In Space is free, only lasts a few minutes, and it is a total lark. Made in four days for gamejam mld#33, it is the overpowered tale of an overpowered superhero fighting vulpine soldiers, turrets, spacecraft and giant walkers. It is as silly as it is entertaining, and it makes me go like this:

I don’t think I’ve ever had performance this poor on a downloadable PC game. Music won’t work, sounds only play the first 1/4 second, and the framerate goes to shit when there are over 5 enemies on screen. I didn’t know that was possible for a game with graphics consisting of a foreground, background and two-frame animations all drawn in MS Paint.

I think any animal based anthropomorphics abandon their animal origin as soon as they get opposable thumbs.
I mean shit, it’s just a dude with a fox/wolf/cat/robot/snake’s head. They even use fucking guns and stuff.
At least something like the hydralisk had to spit their projectiles. These fuckers might as well as be wearing silly hats.
p.s. aliens wearing silly hats were featured in touhou 8

This was no way even inspired by Mass Effect lol what. I did a drawing of a fox robot shooting lazars from it’s eyes, then built a game based on that drawing within a week. that was the point of the gamejam. then I ate some toast or something, I can’t really remember. thanks.
